My first impression is that if we considered the entire gamut of ESMTP submission extensions, most would not be relevant for the client, and therefore most would not need to be reflected in JMAP. The client should not care if the payload is sent chunked, whether the next hop server supports pipelining. The only extensions would relate to the things the client needs to know in order to emit a properly formed message and envelope. If we make delivery status updates a core (and mandatory) part of JMAP, whether the upstream SMTP infrastructure can support it or not is not particularly important. The JMAP server can provide something regardless, and in a tightly-integrated system (e.g. one JMAP client sending mail to another on the same server) then the user experience can be excellent. Even things like 8BITMIME should be the default, mandatory in the client<->JMAP server and if the upstream SMTP system needs to redo the message then that's what it needs to do. It's ridiculous we are still bound to a 7-bit-compatible mail transport where the only machines now that are 7 bit are in museums. I think it would be a shame to get hung up on non-necessary SMTP extensions and use that as a justification to not progress on improvements. We need to be sure that we have a realistic but useful set of minimum requirements which safeguard an excellent user experience, because we need to do better than what is currently there or this will not be adopted.
